Q: Hi - would like to buy this product. Does this product repel crickets? And, cicadas?

submitted by Artichoke - 1 year ago
  • A: OFF!® Backyard Bug Control kills and repels 110+ insects, and one of them is crickets! However, this is not recommended for use against cicadas. Because this product is regulated by the EPA, we can only recommend it be used to treat those bugs specifically listed on the product’s packaging. If you have future questions, you can always reach us on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT at 1-800-558-5252. Don't hesitate to give us a ring! – Mindi, SC Johnson Consumer Care
